We ejoyed sitting on the porch outside the sliding glass door. Watching the water, the nridge and the boats transporting passengers to Mackinac Island. Three steps from the porch was a firepit and three steps from thay was the sandy beach. Very relaxing.

Older property renovations in progress. Gentleman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. Put us in a nicer part of the hotel that was already renovated. Pool could use a little bit of TLC. Didn't try it ,was quite dirty but did see them clean it the next day but didn't get a chance to enjoy it. Great place to stay right on the water. Worth the 69 bucks night

Approx. a 10 x 10 room, hadn't been painted in many years. Dirty walls, with 2 beds squeezed into a tiny space. Walked in and walked out. For $185 per night, they are insane, while the billboard says $69 with vacancy. I've never seen such a flea bag motel in my life. They offered us an upgrade for another $50! No thanks! Couldn't leave fast enough!

Disgusting. Didn’t stay. Looked at two different rooms. Hotel wouldn’t refund. Disappointed that this hotel was even listed on Expedia. Expedia gave a $25.00 toward next booking, which is appreciated. Unfortunate experience.

No hot water, no wifi, no cable tv. The top blanket had stains on it that I removed it and I was scared to not wear shoes in the place. There were bugs smashed on the walls and I thought about leaving in the middle of the night it was so bad. The fromt desk people were nice but I would never stay again.

For it being located right on the beach, it was great. The only down side was the bathroom had black mold all on and around the ceiling.

I am all for a mom and pop motel. And I am aware that most places are closed for winter in this area but this place needs to be closed down , I'm actually not sure how they have passed or gotten away with staying op n. They own 4 motels in the area, when we arrived the signs said vacancy n $69 a night which we paid way more and even at $69 a night or is insane because this place is so ran down from chipping paint, old dirty nasty walls, had to sit sideways on the toilet because it's basically under the sink n the carpet does not look like it's been clean in years and was damp. There was one outlet in the whole tiny room with an extension cord, no amenities, and we were the only people even staying there. Now the pool are yes they advertised it.. well it's half indoor/outdoor and they do have a hot tub, that being said it's disgusting.. the staff were nice but other then that this place may have been a nice place 20 years ago but there has been 0 upkeep to the place.. do not waste your money at all to stay here it's that bad..

Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend
